After
making
an
impressive
debut
with
Hindi
film
Tanu
Weds
Manu,
director
Anand
L
Rai
is
once
again
celebrating
the
joy
and
pain
that
come
with
falling
in
love
through
his
upcoming
romantic
film
Ambikapathy,
the
Tamil
version
of
Raanjhanaa.
The
trailer
of
the
film
shows
a
love
triangle
between
Dhanush,
Sonam
Kapoor
and
Abhay
Deol.
Oscar-award
winner
AR
Rahman
has
given
music
in
the
movie
which
is
set
in
Varanasi
and
Delhi.
Raanjhanaa
will
release
on
June
21.
"I
have
a
feeling
that
somewhere
people
have
lost
faith
in
love.
People
speak
about
it
today,
but
imagine
it
to
be
true
only
in
fairy
tales.
I
feel
sad
to
see
this
as
love
is
an
integral
part
of
our
life.
I
feel
people
don't
want
to
go
through
the
heartbreak.
So,
somewhere
I
wanted
to
celebrate
this
pain
and
love," Rai
told
in
an
interview.
South
star
Dhanush,
who
shot
to
fame
with
the
song
'Kolaveri
Di'
in
Bollywood,
plays
a
Hindu
Banarasi
boy
who
falls
in
love
with
Sonam,
a
Muslim
girl.
Rai
cast
Dhanush
when
'Kolaveri
Di'
was
a
rage,
but
the
director
did
not
want
to
cash
in
on
his
singer's
image.
He
said,
"I
didn't
want
a
singer
but
an
actor.
And
he
is
100
times
better
as
actor
than
a
singer.
The
aim
was
not
to
cash
in
on
his
'Kolaveri
Di'
fame
but
to
highlight
the
actor
in
him."
From
a
middle-class
Delhi
family,
Rai
left
his
job
as
an
engineer
to
pursue
dreams
of
filmmaking.
Though
he
feels
it
was
a
risk
he
took,
he
has
no
regrets
about
it.
Left
Everything
To
Follow
dreams
"I
left
everything
to
pursue
my
dreams
of
filmmaking.
It
was
a
risk
I
took
at
that
point
since
I
don't
even
come
from
a
filmy
background
but
I
wanted
to
take
that
chance.
It
is
this
excitement
which
keeps
me
going.
I
did
face
challenges
but
that's
what
keeps
me
growing."
His
Struggles
Rai
is
not
keen
to
dwell
on
his
struggles
as
he
takes
his
life
in
a
very
positive
way.
"Every
director
goes
through
struggles
and
I
am
no
different.
I
also
had
my
share
of
problems
but
it
would
be
unfair
to
only
talk
about
problems
as
I
have
been
extremely
lucky
as
well.
I
have
learnt
a
lot
all
these
years
and
hope
to
keep
learning
in
future."
Happy
With
The
Outcome
Rai
is
happy
with
the
way
the
film
has
shaped
up.
"I
am
very
satisfied
with
how
the
movie
has
shaped
up.
It
is
exactly
how
what
a
father
feels
when
he
is
close
to
his
daughter's
wedding.
I
have
put
so
much
into
it
that
I
am
very
much
emotionally
attached
to
it,"
he
said.
Abhay
Impressive
The
director
is
all
praise
for
Abhay,
who
accepted
the
movie
knowing
it
was
not
a
lead
role."I
am
proud
to
be
in
an
industry
where
actors
like
Abhay
Deol
are
there.
It's
his
security
and
conviction
that
directors
like
us
can
make
movies
which
we
want
to,"
Abhay
Is
Happy
"When
I
offered
him
the
role,
he
had
no
problem
with
not
playing
the
lead.
But
was
satisfied
with
his
character
and
knew
how
important
it
was
to
the
story.
You
don't
find
such
actors
in
the
film
industry."
